Jordan Poyer elbow injury

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Hoping for the best. As long as it is not a bicep tear, even with surgery he probably is back before mid-season.  Dislocated elbows or even a broken bone heal faster than torn muscle/tendon.

Its probably insensitive but Damar Hamlin is going to ball out if he has to play. The guy can play.

So can Jaquan.

My major concern. I wasn’t concerned with the Hyde injury, but this feels different for multiple reasons. Pain in this general area normally only stems from something serious. Rarely will you have minor issues with visible pain in the elbow area. 

 

 ?

Unsure that's true

[NewEra]

Noooooo

[FilthyBeast]

Well that sucks. This team has been very lucky with injuries for the most part the last few years (sans Tre White), almost an anomaly really but you wonder if that luck is finally running out and a regression to the norm is coming this year on the injury front.

 

Either way might be time to tap the breaks on the SB hype vehicle in hopes of not jinxing this team any further.

You can get a stinger in the elbow area. The pain is crazy and last a few minutes.

From a tweet on the first page even if worst case should be okay for week 1? No idea myself. But I hope that's true.

That guy doesn't seem to share his credentials in sports medicine.

I'll be waiting for an assessment from Bangedup Bills once we know more about it

Next man up.

If it's only a hyperextension then he should be good to go for the regular season.

webmd hyperextended elbow!  days to weeks!

While I understand people saying cancel all remaining practices and camp, you really do need these sessions to get your team aligned and in the spot they need to be for week 1. Bills medical staff has been top notch at keeping guys healthy and preventive injury so I got faith with that. Hopefully it is a hyperextension as said so far.

Thanks for this update!

 

I think "hyperextended elbow" says more about the mechanism of injury than what was injured

https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/what-to-know-about-a-hyperextended-elbow

Quote

When severe hyperextension happens, it may cause damage to the surrounding muscles, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. This injury is immediately noticeable due to pain.

So it could range from bruising/tissue damage that will heal on its own with RICE, PT, and bracing

or

Torn ligaments, muscles, tendons or cartilage that require surgical repair

Timeline "Weeks to months"

 

Need to just wait on the MRI

 

Wishing Poyer the best, not just as a Bills fan but because he seems like a chill guy despite the wife who is "plenty"

Still have ligaments and stuff that could be damaged. That’s why the MRI.

Get well soon Jordan.

It's just always tough taking injuries in July and August as opposed to week 7.  

 

Immediate reaction is always "these practices are just not important."  Of course they are....

 

Only positive is better now then later so long as they aren't season derailing.
